Here’s how you can prepare your own butterscotch caramel cheesecake with chocolate drizzle:

Crust

Ingredients:

One and a half cups of oats

Three fourth cups of raisins

One tablespoon of coconut sugar

One teaspoon of vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Preparation:

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and mix until you get a dough ball form (this may take a couple of minutes).

Use a silicone mold or muffin tray that has 12 molds. If you opt for a muffin tin, use parchment paper for lining.

Roll a tablespoon of the dough in your palm to make a ball and press it into the bottom of the mold firmly until it’s even.

Keep doing this till you’ve filled the tray and place the mold in your freezer so that it sets, while you move on to the caramel.

Preparation:

Add all of the ingredients in a mixer or high-speed blender preferably, and mix until smooth. To get a smoother consistency you can also add some water.

You can remove the muffin tray with the frozen crusts, transfer the caramel into a piping bag that has a medium tip and use it to pipe caramel into the middle of each crust. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can simply do it with a spoon.

Put the tray back in the freezer while you move on to the cheesecake filling.

Cheesecake

Ingredients:

Three cups of cashews, soaked

Three fourth cup of water

Half a cup of agave

Half a cup of coconut oil

Two tablespoons of mesquite powder

Two teaspoons of vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Preparation:

Soak the cashews, then drain and rinse. Cashews should be soaked first, as they require at least four hours.

With the exception of coconut oil, add all of your ingredients in a high speed blender to mix thoroughly. Then add the coconut oil for the last blend on a low speed.

Remove muffin tray with caramel and crust from your freezer and pour the cheesecake batter into each mold, filling them up completely.

Allow it to stay in the freezer overnight, for at least eight hours.

Carefully take the cheesecakes out of the mold and refrigerate.

You can use any kind of liquid or melted chocolate to garnish the cheesecakes, drizzling it over the top; you can even add candied nuts, buckwheat, or still more caramel!
